Aw man, been ages since reading Discworld series. Might have to change that.Like the photo of the fellow with the mallet.I dunno, dragons and trains just seem to be a natural fit, can't define why, they just do.

Juergen, Today I managed to capture a pair of newly hatched south western US swamp dragons. Swamps are rare in this area, but there are some. Hot springs keep them snuggly for young dragons during the hatching process. These critters are more lizardy looking than the european species.

They are obviously quite hungry, but we have discovered that they like raw hamburger and scrambled eggs.

When building a good / guards van for the Swamp Dragon line, I decided to add a dragon compartement.

Some railroad companies had these for dogs. Nobody wants to have smelly dogs in coaches next to them.

From the outside, the compartment might seem a bit small. But have a look at the inside:

The dragons chewed up one of the cage bars and can move freely all over inside the waggon.

The model was constructed more or less from 2 / 3 mm cardboard, some coffe stir sticks and larger matches. Quite a few details are still missing. Have not yet decided, what colour I will paint the wagon.
